Thanks! I vaguely remember that now. I have been trying to incorporate many of those after my Zumba class. I really should start doing them more.

Ottorsocks…..how often/how long did you stretch? Did you do the complete series?
-
Also, be really careful about not inverting too much. With just a month in, you’re still pretty new, and inverting can be very fatiguing on the body, and that’s when crashes happen! Ask me how I know lol
Or me!!!

I have never tried it with inner arm on top….hmmmm….
-
YAY!!!
I need to take new photos to see my progress. I have not been as diligent about stretching as I would like but I am stretching at least 3 times a week.
Hey VB….where are your pics??

I attacked this in 2 ways. First was to make sure that I had enough grip with my legs that I felt secure in letting go. This to me is really really important because I cannot tell you how many times this has been my safety when things go wrong. My second mode of attack was doing handstands against a wall. This way if my grip did fail me I knew that I could put my hands down and catch myself without crashing on my head. Since I have done a lot of this on my own I am always looking for ways "out" and feeling secure before I even attempt a move.
Another move I have seen people do is backing themselves up to the pole, bending over and placing hands on ground then bringing each foot up to the pole and then backing the hands up so that you do end up in a handstand facing the pole. I cannot access videos from work or I would find what I am talking about and post it for you to see.

Hey all you Ohio girls…check out this thread. Come and play in Columbus in 2 weeks!!

So Angel….are you still having the pole contest or was that Friday night?
-
I am excited!! YAY!!!!

I believe it is commonly called a sunwheel or attitude spin. Can’t help with the "how".

One more question. I can’t find any resin based grip aid at sportchek and the gentleman asked if I meant "pine tar". They haven’t heard of cramer’s firm grip.
BTW…pine tar is more of a tacky material to start out….it really is a tar. There are rags that are coated with it and they will stick to just about EVERYTHING they come in contact with. Rosin is more like a talc and becomes tacky with the heat of your hands. It is a lot cleaner and easier to remove than pine tar. -
Just an added note….bowlers use rosin bags and baseball players use powdered rosin and some sprays on their bats. You can usually find them really cheap in either the bowling section or in the baseball section of any sporting goods store. I have tried the bags and they are not bad but you WILL grip…almost to a fault.

I thought Radio Tokyo was playing Friday night? No matter.
YAY!!!
-
Saturday Night…it is ON!!!
The band that is playing is Controversy.
I will send my cell phone out by PM. This is also the weekend of the Arnold so Columbus is going to be crazy…not sure how much is going to filter out to Westerville.
I am also going to start a new thread for this.

I will add that if you cannot pull yourself upright on the pole from an invert do not attempt this move.
Going from outside leg hang I found it easier to go into side V first and then flip the hips (if this helps anyone).
